Connecticut To Store Biometric Information

Posted by timothy on from the your-license-is-ready-mr.-montag dept.

I am so appalled, I don't even know where to begin. With all of the national law enforcement agencies opening up their databases to each other, is this the first step in taking a surveillance society to a tracking society?"

    when they ask for your thumb print, tell them "hold on, I use my own ink" and then drop your pants and stuff your thumb up your ass. Get it good and brown, and voila, give them the thumb print they demanded.

    Just squinch your face up. Sure you'll have a wacky license picture, but you'll stay anonymous on the cameras...
